How do you simplify #3/14 + 17/63#?

Question

See the entire simplification process below:

First, we need to multiply each fraction by the appropriate form of #1# to have each fraction over a common denominator: #2 xx 63 = 126# #9 xx 14 = 126# Therefore we need to multiply #3/14# by #9/9# and we need to multiply #17/63# by #2/2#. #3/14 + 17/63# becomes: #(9/9 xx 3/14) + (2/2 xx 17/63) -># #27/126 + 34/126# We can now add the numerators for each fraction over a common denominator: #(27 + 34)/163 -># #61/163#

61/126

I believe you mean "complete" when you say "simplify," so here's how I would approach this question: To get the denominator for the answer, I would first multiply the two denominators together to get 882. Then, I would multiply 63 and 3 and 14 and 17 from opposite sides to get the numerator. and after that you have two values, 238 and 189, which you add together to obtain the answer to the question, which is 427. The fraction will then simplify to 61/126 if you add the bottom of the fraction to it, giving a complete answer of 427/882. To simplify it, I used a calculator. Next, you should consider multiples that both numbers share. I hope this was helpful.

undefined To simplify 3/14 + 17/63, find a common denominator, which is 882.

3/14 * 63/63 = 189/882
17/63 * 14/14 = 238/882

Add the fractions:
189/882 + 238/882 = (189 + 238) / 882 = 427/882

So, 3/14 + 17/63 simplifies to 427/882.
